I'm in the azure sky, and I have an anti-fraud app.

"No, no, no, who said no!" Noshiro glared at her sister: "Then I'll have to trouble the Commander for help."

The moment the news broke that the commander would be participating in the water gun battle, the previously deserted game suddenly became incredibly popular. Some ship girls even privately messaged Noshiro asking if more spots could be added, leaving Noshiro and Sakabo speechless with envy.

……

After dinner time.

Noshiro and Sakano cleaned up the traces of the day's water gun battle. As per the commander's instructions, each prepared a different color: Noshiro's chocolate ice cream and Sakano's milk ice cream.

Sakebori knocked on the door: "Commander, we're coming in~"

"commander?"

Not hearing a response, Noshiro simply took out the spare key to the room and opened the door.

Jiujiao:!

Sister, you're even better at sneaking away than I thought!

The sound of water came from the bathroom, indicating that the commander had not finished washing up yet.

Just as Sakabo was about to burst through the door, Noshiro gently pulled her back. Sakabo looked at her sister questioningly, and Noshiro took out an eye mask, gesturing for Sakabo to stand in the corner.

Li Wei heard the commotion outside from inside the bathroom: "Is that Noshiro and Sakebori?"

"Yes, Commander, we're here!"

"wait a second."

"Okay~"

After quickly washing himself up, Li Wei stepped out of the bathroom and was immediately met by Noshiro. The girl stood in the doorway facing the bathroom, having already taken off her high heels, and was holding two pairs of black stockings of different sheer sizes: "Commander, which one do you prefer?"

Li Wei, unsuspecting, stepped forward, bent down to touch it, and then lost sight of it. It turned out that the shokuni had placed a blindfold on Li Wei from behind: "Hehe, Commander, don't take it off~"

"...How did you all learn it too?"

"Hehe, this is what Amagi-nee taught us~ Hey, Commander, don't take it off, let's play a game."

Li Wei stopped what he was doing: "What game?"

"Hehe, my sister and I both changed into different stockings, and what's more, all four of them are different! If Commander can guess it, we'll grant you one wish, okay?"

"What if I guess wrong?"

"Then of course, the Commander will grant me one wish!"

“Isn’t this just pure guessing?” Li Wei protested. “I only have a one in four chance of guessing correctly, and you might not even believe it.”

Sakabo: "Oh dear, we'll keep an eye on each other, we won't cheat!"

Noshiro: "Commander, we'll give you hints with actions. You'll have two chances. How about that?"

"Hmm... let's give it a try then."

Li Wei lay on the bed, making it convenient for Noshiro and Sakura to begin their game.

"First time, Commander, pay attention!"

No sooner had Noshiro finished speaking than Li Wei felt a movement as light as a breeze brushing his face. The force was so slight that he might not have felt anything unless he was fully focused on sensing it.

"Commander, it's time to guess~"

"That's too light... I can't guess anything." Li Wei shook his head: "Then I'll just guess randomly, Noshiro's left foot."

Noshiro and Sakabo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"What, could it be that I guessed right?"

"Yes, Commander, you guessed right. That's amazing, you guessed it right on the first try." Noshiro's tone was filled with admiration: "Commander, how did you guess it?"

"Just luck." Li Wei smiled. "Since I guessed right right away, shouldn't you keep your promise?"

Noshiro, true to her word, said, "Alright, then what do you want, Commander?"

"Hmm... I'm not some kind of demon. How about this, for my midnight snack, I want you to feed me your chocolate ice cream, okay?"

"Well……"

Sakebori: "Commander, what about me?"

"You, let me think about it..."

Sakebori couldn't wait: "I want to be like my sister too!"

"That's fine then, you can do it this way too." Li Wei took off his blindfold: "Since that's the case, then I'll have to look forward to it!"

"What exactly is the Commander expecting?" Noshiro stomped Levi back and began to savor the taste of the main gun: "Phew... I've been thinking about it all day, and I can finally taste it."

"Of course I'm looking forward to midnight snacks... Don't be so rough!"

Noshiro flashed her little fangs: "Even if Commander is looking forward to a midnight snack, we're looking forward to right now~"

Sakebori added fuel to the fire: "That's right, Commander, if you want to have a midnight snack in that position, you'll need our sisters' permission first!"

"Alright, alright." Li Wei gently grabbed the two girls' stockings, one in each hand, pulled them in front of him, and kissed each of them. "Then watch me quickly break through and make you two sisters admit defeat!"

Chapter 333 Summer Fireworks Festival

Supper time.

The so-called late-night snack was actually a bunch of various kinds of small desserts, which allowed Li Wei to fully enjoy the gentleness and fun of the Noshiro and Sakao sisters without getting full too quickly. It can only be said that the ship girls who prepared it were really thoughtful.

She picked up a small piece of chocolate with her hands: "Commander, come on, open your mouth, ah—this is the chocolate you specifically asked for~, if you don't hurry up, this chocolate will melt~, hehe, there's nothing I can do, its temperature is just that hot~."

Li Wei: "Didn't we agree to use your chocolate?"

Noshiro remained completely unperturbed: "Commander, don't rush. Surely you won't be unable to finish this little piece of chocolate?"

Li Wei thought it made sense, and besides, the chocolate was only the size of a fingertip, so calling it a chocolate bean was a bit of a stretch. So he swallowed it in one gulp, and Noshiro's fingers also got the taste of chocolate.

Not to be outdone, Sakawa chimed in, "Commander, over here~, look, there's a white milk stick... Ah, if I remember correctly, this should be a dairy product mainly made of cheese, right? Hmm... why does it smell so familiar?"

Noshiro thoughtfully picked up a milk stick: "Hmm..."

Li Wei put the milk stick from Sakebori's hand into his mouth and mumbled, "Who cares if it's familiar or not, it won't hurt anyway, mmm... delicious, but this taste does seem a bit familiar, I think I've had it at some ship girl's place before..."

Noshiro and Sakabo exchanged a glance, seemingly having already found their answer.

"Ah, I remember now, isn't this Kashino milk?" Li Wei suddenly remembered: "It seems that Kashino produces a lot of this, so after priority supply, there is still surplus that can be used to make dairy products. Tsk... I knew this tasted so familiar... It's really good, give me more."

Noshiro narrowed her eyes slightly and gripped the main gun: "Does the Commander like it?"

Li Wei then realized that he was standing in front of two high school girls with mischievous personalities. To praise another ship girl in front of them like that was probably...

"I just suddenly remembered," Li Wei tried to cover for himself, his disheveled appearance making Noshiro chuckle. "Alright, Commander, look how scared you are. I was just saying it offhand, I didn't mean to pursue it."

That didn't sound like you were just saying it casually at all!

"However... it seems the Commander's main gun has already given the answer~" Noshiro said, carefully feeling the temperature emanating from the main gun while picking up a piece of chocolate with her toes: "Here, Commander, this time it's chocolate on top of chocolate exactly as you requested~"

"Sister is so cunning~" Sakura simply picked up a piece of chocolate as well: "Commander, have mine first~, it's milk chocolate, it's even better than double the amount of pure chocolate, you know?"

"Okay, okay, I'll eat it all." Li Wei ate with both hands, accepting everything offered.

"Commander, I want some too."

Li Wei repeated his previous statement: "Come on, come on."

……

Belfast pushed open the bedroom door: "Master? Ah, it seems Master had a wonderful night last night~"

"Ahem..." Li Wei patted Noshiro and Sakura, signaling them to leave: "What's wrong, Belfast? Is something the matter?"

“Nothing much, of course, nothing is as important as Master’s enjoyment.” Belfast knelt by the bed, giving the routine morning bite: “Master hasn’t cleaned up yet, has he? Let Belfast do the same for you.”

“You wouldn’t come in to bother me if there was nothing wrong.” Levi patted Belfast’s head. “Speak, what is it?”

“Well… actually, we’ve been away for a bit too long.” Belfast cleaned up the last traces. “We set off for the Northern Union in March, and it’s late May now. The ship girls at our home port hope to spend some quality time with the Commander.”

Is there anything else we need to do in Sakura Empire?

“Nothing for now.” Belfast thought for a moment. “If you’d like, you can talk to a few of the leaders before you leave. After all, they’re usually stationed in Sakura Empire, so they don’t have much time to return to the port together.”

"That's settled then. We'll set sail home in a week."

“Yes.” Belfast stood up. “I will go and formulate the relevant plans.”

"Don't rush," Levi said, grabbing Belfast's arm.

……

"Leaving so soon?"

Musashi's tone was tinged with reluctance, his large tail swaying in the wind behind him: "There are still so many things I haven't done with the children."

“We’ve indeed been away from our home port for too long,” Li Wei explained. “Besides, the purpose of this trip was to resolve the issue of the Northern Alliance, and coming to Sakura Empire was just a side trip.”

Musashi silenced Li Wei by silencing him: "Commander, no need to explain. I'll accept everything you do. But since time is short, I'll take you to some activities that are very characteristic of Sakura Empire. It's a festival that only happens once a year in the summer~"

"Of course that's good."

"I was originally planning to surprise you in a few months, but since there's no time like the present, let's do it tonight."

What does "Musashi" refer to?

"Hehe, it's a special festival for Sakura Empire." Musashi gestured in the air. "Commander, you can just enjoy the view. Of course, if you'd like, you can also try on our Sakura Empire's special costumes; that would make you feel more immersed!"

"Immersion?" Li Wei finally remembered what the so-called Sakura Empire's special festival was: "It's the so-called summer fireworks festival, right? Okay, then I'll come back tonight. Now... Musashi?"

"Hehe, Commander, I only said you could come tonight to participate in the special festival, but I didn't say you could leave now~" Musashi wrapped her tail around Li Wei, not giving him any chance to leave: "The thought of not seeing the Commander for a long time... shouldn't the Commander leave me with something to look forward to?"

Li Wei obediently allowed himself to be tied up, never even considering resistance: "Wait, put me down, I can walk by myself..."

He had no room to resist in this matter, especially since he had been in Sakura Empire for several days and hadn't really had any in-depth conversations with Musashi...

Musashi swept the Commander behind her and rushed to her room as fast as she could. If she didn't want to share the Commander with other ship girls, Musashi probably wouldn't have wasted even this short distance: "Hehe...that won't do. The Commander walks too slowly by himself. Right now, I don't want to waste a single moment, not even a second!"

Chapter 334 Shoukaku at the Summer Festival

First, Musashi pinned him down on the bed and emptied his ammunition, then Shinano dragged him into a dream and emptied his dream as well. By the time the summer festival began that night, Li Wei had no ammunition left.

He watched as the ship girls changed into yukatas one by one, and felt a sense of calm wash over him.

The purple-skinned fox and the white-skinned fox each have their own roles: one in dreams and the other in reality. If it were just that, it wouldn't be so bad. But this morning, he had a deep conversation with the Noshiro Sakebori sisters until dawn, and before he could rest for long, he was bitten by Belfast Morning. In one day, he was essentially being attacked by five ship girls in turn, including three veteran female characters. It's understandable that he couldn't take it anymore.

Regardless of the truth, that's how Li Wei comforted himself.

The Empress, dressed in a pink yukata, exclaimed, "Wow... this is the Sakura Empire festival! It's so lively!"

Sheffield's bathrobe was black and white, revealing a glimpse of her beautiful back: "It really is...not bad. Whew...there's even a shooting range, my gun is already itching to fire...!"

Queen: "Shooting stalls shouldn't allow you to use your own guns, right...?"

Sheffield: "Of course I know, I was just kidding."

Lei and Dian, each holding a brightly colored umbrella, stood at the entrance, welcoming the ship girls: "Welcome to the Sakura Empire Summer Festival!"

Queen: "Wow, Zi and Bai are both so cute! Thank you for the invitation!"

Sheffield: "Well, me and the vampire too—well...? Where are they?"

Ray pointed the way for the two: "The vampire is at that juice stand over there—"

The Queen and Sheffield looked over and saw the vampire picking out drinks at Akashi's beverage stand.

Vampire: "Huff huff huff... My body is thirsting for crimson blood..."

Akashi: "There's no blood here, meow."

Vampire: "—Ah, could I please have a glass of watermelon juice, please?"

The Queen and Sheffield exchanged a glance; it seemed the vampire was also enjoying the festival in her own way.

On the other side, Mutsuki grabbed a handful of candy: "North Wind, there are some different candy stalls over there! Let's go check them out!"

North Wind, also carrying a handful of food, said, "Hmm, let me buy another serving of fried noodles—"

Mutsuki: "Huh? Where is Yi-26?"

North Wind: "Hmm? Oh... she can't get out of the goldfish scooping stall—"

Yi 26 squatted in front of the fish-catching stall: "Ah~ it's broken... one more time! Please give me a new net!"
